GoLD1N GRANT PARISH A few
days back, Mr.. Lynch, Of the firm Of
she firm Claussen & Lynch, was in
Grant Parish, investigating the gold
fields and getting samples for assays
The..a assay made indicated traces Of
gold, but not in paying quantities
The first assay made, he pronounced
worth 5000 to the ton, but now it is
declared to be worthless. Mr.. Lynch
thinks that Mr.. Cameron who sent him
the first samples struck "pocket'
where the gold had concentrated,
hence the difference between the first
and second assay. We regret the dis
appointment for had it been other
wise this whole section would have
been materially benefitted-and many
of our friends realized handsome
fortune. We may not have pure gold
in paying quantities, but We have the
land, climate, and other natural ad-
vantages that will make this section a
very prosperous one in the near future.

MIR. Kight said that it would be
the aim of his Company to build up
the country through which their rail-
road will run. He pointed to the
Texas & Pacific as showing how little
a railroad could do locally for the
people in advertising their resources,
when it was built more to carry
through freight than anything else.
His road would be one that would
advertise and tell the people of the
cold North the advantages of our
soil and climate.

STREET CAR DRIVERS.
Their Denial and What Did
Occur, as far as the Herald
is Concerned.

All the men quit but two and it Is SAID
one Of them will quit this evening. The
men say that they did not strike, do not
make any demands, and quit because they
knew some of their number would be dis
charged for an act which they consider IN
no sense wrong and in which they were ali
engaged. The drivers deny in toto the ar
ticle In the HERALD of yesterday.
All that the HERALD said in this
matter was that we were authorized to
say that the street car drivers had not
been and would not be discharged, and
that the report to that effect was not
true. The item above says the same
thing, and why the HERALD's little
paragraph should call out denial in
such measured terms is, to say the
least, iar-fetched. A reporter Of the
HERALD met Mr.. Henderson about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and said :;
81 understand that you have discharg-
ed all the street car drivers because
they serenaded Col and DR.. Keller. Is
it truep
"No, sir, it is not true. We have
not discharged the men,"
Later in the day Mr.. Henderson met
the reporter and said; "Since saw
you eight or ten men have quit work
because they feared they would be
discharged. But l want to say the
men would not have been discharged,
and presumed the mstter had stop
ped and passed over until heard a
little while ago about the men quit
ting. Other men, however, stood
ready to take their places, and there
has been no trouble. think the boys
have made mistake"
